Luciano's

Head down to Eagle Parade and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood Italian—the sort where regulars have their own tables and the kitchen isn't messing about with fusion nonsense. There's something refreshing about a place that's confident enough to just do Italian food well: you're getting handmade pasta, sauces that have actually been built, and staff who know their stuff without being pretentious about it. The room itself feels warm and lived-in rather than designed, which is exactly how it should be. With a 4.8 rating from nearly 300 reviews, people keep coming back because Luciano's doesn't try to be anything other than what it is—honest, unpretentious Italian done properly.
